There are many reasons to buy wholesale blank t-shirts. Maybe you just like to keep it simple and you want a lot of classic black, white, or colored shirts. You could also be purchasing shirts that you will be customizing yourself. At Clothing Authority we offer many of the top t shirt brands at convenient wholesale prices. Before you place your order, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you are choosing the right garments.
The most common garment material is cotton. Cotton garments are soft, comfortable, and also very affordable. However not all cotton is created equal. There are two distinct varieties to consider when choosing a garment: preshrunk cotton and ringspun cotton. Preshrunk cotton is the standard offering and most cotton t shirts like the Gildan G200 will use this style. Ringspun cotton undergoes additional processing before it is knit into fabric and sewn into shirts. Ring spinning helps to soften the cotton fibers and produces a much finer cotton thread. Ringspun shirts like the Next Level 3600 will be much softer and many find them more comfortable.
Another option is poly and poly blended garments. Completely poly garments will have an almost silky texture and are a great option for activewear because they help wick sweat. Cotton-poly blends, like the Gildan Dri Fit, will offer superior sweat-wicking when compared to cotton while retaining the soft feel of a pure cotton shirt. “Antique” and “heather” garments that have a mottled appearance are always some type of blend, usually with a very low level of poly. There are also tri-blend shirts made of polyester, cotton, and rayon. These shirts are exceptionally soft and thin.
When deciding which shirt to choose, the fit is also an important factor. At Clothing Authority, we provide the size charts from the company on our product pages to give an accurate concept of fit for each size. Ringspun and tri-blend shirts will often provide a more fitted look.
The final consideration to make when choosing wholesale blank t shirts is potential customization. If you are looking to add custom graphics to your garments. If you will be screen printing you can order any type of shirt, though extra considerations have to be taken with poly garments to avoid dye migration. For vinyl, you can use any garment, but you should be careful to ensure that poly and tri-blend garments are flat and unstretched prior to pressing your vinyl. If you are using DTG, you should try to stick to cotton or high cotton blends. Finally, for dye sublimation printing, poly garments are your best option.
